The Mega Bloks® Skylanders Giants™ Zeppelin Air Ship Assault set is part of an extensive new set in the Mega Bloks® series. Mega Bloks® welcomed Skylanders Giants™ Zepplin Air Ship is the newest Skylanders Giants™ themed sets to join their family, and is now available in stores.

My daughter and husband were able to put together the Zeppelin Air Ship Assault set with ease in just under an hour. They enjoyed building it together while little brother played with Eyebrawl (his eye comes off making him look like a little winged beholder), the troll, and the sheep.

What’s in the box?: The set comes with a detailed instruction book for set #95415 , 118 building pieces, 3 characters, and about a dozen extra pieces.

Brick by Brick: The instructions were easy to follow. My now seven-year-old had few problems following the directions, but sometimes needed help snapping the bricks together.

Ages 5+: There are little pieces on the zeppelin with clips to hold wings on. When handled roughly by younger children these pieces tend to snap off. Also, since the cannon actually fires a projectile, older kids seem to be more responsible and careful about not aiming at actual people.

Is it too soon to start thinking about the toys you should be tracking down for your GeekKids this holiday season? Time to Play Magazine doesn’t think so. Every year around this time they host the Time To Play Holiday Showcase to show off what they will believe will be the hottest toys of the season based on their kid testing and reviews. Among these were ten that are sure to appeal to your geeklets.

Readers of this blog know how excited we are for Skylanders Giants. In addition to the game itself, Mega Bloks is coming out with Skylanders building sets. I really wanted to grab this off the display and run home with it. Kids will love the details from the video game as they bring their Skylands fun offline.

Innovation First, the creative minds that gave us Hexbugs, have expanded their line to include cars. Oh, but these are no ordinary cars. These Tagamoto motorized vehicles use Hexbug technology to send cars around the track you build. But they don’t stop there. Stickers and signs that you place along the raceway cause the cars to follow traffic signs and turn on their headlights.
